But my haste in leaving the blue waters had been ill-advised; for suddenly a great cloud of water enveloped me, and catching me up, carried me to a great height. Then I discovered that I had been changed into a lily, whose white petals were unfolded, and that I was grow- ing in a garden, white with a multitude of the same wonderful flowers. “Not over long had I been there, when…

Thus seated in the Padmasana he will fix his attention in the Ajna lotus, and by contemplating upon this light the “Shiva Sanhita”* informs us “all sins (un- balanced forces) are destroyed, and even the most wicked (unbalanced) person obtains the highest end.” Those who would practise Dharana successfully should live alone, and should take care to distract the mind as little as possible.
